"Cincinnati, Temple and Penn State are in touch with me," said the 6-foot-5, 319-pound Valentin. "I have family in Cincinnati. Hopefully I can visit there.
"Temple is a school close to home," he said. "I feel comfortable there. I was there for their junior day. They have great facilities and academics. They have a lot of diversity there.
"Penn State is also pretty close to home," Valentin said. "Obviously they have a great tradition in football. They're on the rise."
Valentin is hoping to get in touch with a few other schools.
Valentin thinks he knows which school will be the first to offer him.
"I think Temple might be the first to offer me because they can actually come see me," said Valentin. "I think some big names will come but Temple will probably be the first one."
Valentin thinks he might be going to UCLA's camp this summer.
